Description
After Caspar David Friedrich.
I wanted to capture the threadbare theme of the pin-up. This time, these women are taking their ascent into their own hands to escape, with more or less success, from the male gaze. The characterization of each is to be placed in relation to the image of the mountain borrowed from the history of art. This mountain, which is difficult to reach, at least by sight, is that of the place that men have granted themselves. At the turn of these 10 images, I give the female characters different postures, between insurance and endangerment, thus testifying that their reconquest of spaces is still today, a risk-taking.
Thank you for the view and your comments

I enjoyed learning about Caspar David Friedrich and viewing his austere images (especially of lone figures contemplating the landscape). I love the climber's pose you have our female protagonist in here! Her rural costume is quite jarring (used to seeing people hanging from rock faces in this pose wearing modern athletic clothing) but very convincing! Thank you for sharing, it's a pleasure to view!

Thank you very much. Caspar David Friedrich's painting is Mountain Peek with Drifting Clouds, circa 1835.

She is doing breathtaking climbing art but nevertheless she's looking still relaxed. She probably knows what she is able do to!

the sublime, as beauty mixed with dread, is one of the forces of attraction of Romanticism in 19th century painting.

Un peintre quasi inconnu en France dans ma jeunesse que j'ai découvert à la fin des années soixante lors d'un séjour en Allemagne.

Il en va ainsi de certains peintres, heureusement redécouverts aujourd'hui, je pense à Vermeer, et à d'autres...

The posing and expression here is wonderfully well observed, and particularly effective given the traditionally clad woman; almost a "Heidi" pastiche; which in itself is appropriate given the story of a mountain girl overcoming her challenges.

Thank you very much for this insightful comment Joe
